A brand-new plugin is available for both WordPress.org and WordPress.com users – Onswipe. This fantastic plugin makes it exceptionally easily to format your blog for any iPad viewers you may have…that is, for WordPress.com blogs at least. My former .com blog for Be Blog Smart shows up just fine on the iPad with the Onswipe plugin, but this site? Not so much, unfortunately. Posts and pages won’t come up when chosen.

But at least it shows up wonderfully on those .com blogs! It’s really a fantastic layout that appears on Apple products; and is something a bit more interesting and streamlined than the typical webpage on those hand-held computers.

Those of you with a WordPress.com blog may want to give it a try–and why not? You can always deactivate and delete the plugin if it doesn’t work well! Once it’s activated on your blog, you can modify its settings (under Appearances: iPad)–such as front page display and font style.

You can see Onswipe in action on an iPad here, thanks to a YouTube video I found by user danwiggled:
